He worked like a champion and was great to have around. I highly recommend him . We would have him back any day .
As a person who has never travelled much yet and never used workaway before, I was very worried in the beginning.

We did out door painting and preparation and heavy digging of removing turf to put down pebbles. Both exhausting jobs that they did perfectly.
I can highly recommend them and would have them back in a heart beat.
They are also great cooks so letting them loose in the kitchen will be a blessing.
We really lived having them and they are always welcome to return.
They English is good and have a great work ethic.
